Just popping in to say hello and offer a little inspiration

One's philosophy is not best expressed in words;

it is expressed in the choices one makes...

and the choices we make are ultimately our responsibility.

10 YEARS!

Grateful for all of the life that has been added... The quality of life is so much better with the ease of breath. I thought at the beginning that this would be just like all of those other times and end up in failure and waiting for the next opportunity to start all over. With determination and strength of will I created a new opportunity. I fought and struggled and with the support of many friends here I created a new pattern. This new pattern is a pattern of success. The new pattern is full of gratitude and acknowledgement.

I am looking forward to all that the adventure will bring.

If I can change and adapt and create the life I want, full of freedom... anyone can.

Life is a BANQUET! What is on your table?

How cool that this thread is still here! All this wisdom helped me back in 2007 when it was my turn. I have been smoke-free ever since, and I can definitely say that it's because of the foundation of knowledge that I gained right here. I owe these people gratitude for my life.

To the newbies: Read the history, the old stuff. And hang in there!

Another new adventure began May 1, 2104. My life keeps unfolding.

I am very glad for that!

I am grateful everyday that I no longer smoke.

The gift of life that I gave myself on that February day many years ago has resulted in the most amazing and awesome rewards.

Please take a breath. Breath in and out slowly savouring the miracle of life that is contained in each breath.

Cheers! Let the journey continue!

Just came back to read from a Thread that I rememebered... 2006

WOW

I have done this new thing for 34 days (NOT SMOKING).
I had done the old thing for 13,140 days (SMOKING). Imagine that.

If each puff of each cigarette over 36 years was a single dose of mood altering substace that totals some 3,942,000 doses of some kind of mind bending drug. No wonder I have, strange dreams, my sleep is disrupted, I am a little moody, sometimes I am emotional, I am constantly hungry, (not really for food but for somthing to fill the gap), I might have a little trouble concentrating.

This voyage has provided a lot of information to me and although I am a relative newbie to being smoke free. Being this newbie I still like to share my thoughts and experience. There are days and moments that I sometimes wonder what is happening to me. Well nothing really is happening to me. What there is is that I have stepped into a new life, a life that I thought that I knew and I am realizing that really I did not know my life. I did not ever really know who the real me was. The me that was for so long clouded in addiction is slowly being revealed as the old habits, old ways and old patterns are stripped away.

I have no real imagery for what an adult who does not smoke is like. So I have to take resposibility and make that adult, the new me, into someone that I want to be. What a strange and wonderful opportunity that my addiction has provided to an almost 50 something. Here is an empty canvas, create the new you. WOW, what an awesome task and what a wonderful opportunity.

I am glad that there are others to share this journey with. I am glad that others care enough here to tell their stories, and show parts of themselves I might not typically get to see. From seeing the parts of all of the varied and multi faceted people who post into this Stop Smoking Centre Forum I get to see, experience and learn about the kind of person I would like to be. I get the ultimate opportunity to choose what I want and what I don't want. That is where my responsibility lies, in making that choice and in deciding to be real and letting the new me come forward.

I am sorry that sometimes I have been moody and I know that there are times for me that this is really a white knuckle ride and ultimately what I am working so dilegently at is creating this new life.
